Passenger Information Displays


Paige and Paige were sitting on a cold platform

The station was cold

The buffet was cold

The coffee was cold

The Met Office had promised mild winds

In reality the wind was from the North East

Both Paige and Paige hated the Met Office

As they were wearing thin cotton dresses

The Passenger Information Displays confused the sisters

They read (with the exception of Platform 0)

No that is a lie

The Passenger Information Displays read

A mirror is a utopia because the image reflected is a placeless place an unreal virtual place that allows one to see one’s own visibility.

However, the mirror is also a heterotopia in that it is a real object

Paige wondered about trains

Her sister had broken her mirror in the subway

Paige did not carry a mirror as she hated her image

A subway ran under their buffet

Which meant that they were suspended in space

The buffets on platforms two four six and eight

Were not suspended in space as they had not yet been built

The nearest poster red

One can feel hate

But one cannot see hate

Therefore does gate exist

The poster was blue
